Son Fired After School Entry Sparks Integration Turmoil
John H Thompson 33, father of nine year old Gregory, was fired from a $73 a week job after his white son entered McDonogh No 19 in New Orleans amid desegregation efforts. Thompson refused to back down, saying he would seek another job and noting his nursing of a belief in integration. Gregory faced jeers from demonstrators as a federal marshal escorted him from the school. Meanwhile Georgia moved to limit integration with local control plans while courts drove desegregation efforts in Atlanta and Tennessee.
